Holograph, signed with initials
The meetings in West Chester were not so well attended as they usually are, but it was a "'strengthening' occasion." Mr. Bleby's account of the West India Emancipation was thrilling. Almost all the people in attendance were progressive Quakers; their transactions of business were slow. The resolutions offered by William Lloyd Garrison were unanimously adopted, except one relating to the Republican Party. Garrison enumerates the names of the good speakers. He reports on various acquaintances. Bayard Taylor's parents were at the meeting; Bayard Taylor is expected to return from his foreign tour next week. Garrison is now staying with Thomas Whitson. Garrison will give a lecture on disunion tonight
